| summary | This document outlines a process for simplifying Monero payments by addressing the difficulty users face with long, complex stealth addresses. The core issue is the 95+ character length of Monero addresses, making them impractical to share verbally. The solution involves a system that uses DNS lookups to resolve these addresses. Specifically, it fetches TXT records for the FQDN, attempting multiple retries, and verifies the presence of a DNSSEC trust chain (RRSIG, DNSKEY, NSEC3) to ensure the address's integrity. If a valid trust chain isn't found, the user is alerted to potential untrustworthiness. Ultimately, the system extracts the recipient address and validates it with the user, focusing on a first-match extraction approach. |
